So when were you gonna talk about Ceres??

[cloverfield]

Me...."How many sound effects do you want to use?"
Spark

You should change the title. Although informative all we got was Vesta, and no Ceres?

[DRSulik]

The real challenge is to produce a sound track where the music and FX don't step on the narrator so we can hear him.

A simple question on these two statements:

10:21 - In the early days of the solar system asteroids like Vesta were built up from smaller bodies that collided and stuck together.

10:45 - In the location that is known today as the asteroid belt it's thought that the strong gravitational influence of Jupiter, the solar systems largest planet, scattered the asteroids and kept them from forming something larger. Instead many were broken apart by collisions, with fragments still occasionally raining down on Vesta right up to the present time.

Q - When rocks collide, do they stick together or break apart?

"Exploring the Dwarf Planet Ceres" says the title, yet in the video "Vesta, Vesta, Vesta..." oh hey they're talking about how the probe is going from Vesta to Ceres... at about 20.5 minutes into a 22.5 minute video... "... but they really want to explorer near Earth asteroids" .... *face palm*

[cloverfield]

Seriously, do you have to absurdly melodramatic sound effects in every frame??!!!

[claudelebel]

All this rock but where did it all come from?

[jasonhicks]

Sound effects and back ground music ruined the video to loud.. I could barely hear him...

[monsterinhead]

Ceres was once covered in ice. Enough for a thousand generations of Belters.

[tigerlily]

Its definitely the earth looked so different in many ways like its very hot that planet is dying very bad

[PlayItAgainTubeSam]

I guess Michael Bay produced this with some explosions he had spare

[candysalazar]

It's a miracle they didn't refer to Ceres and Vesta as MOON

[makavelirizla]

The sound affects and music make this mini doc, awful to get into.. you guys should consider not using as much!

[fredjones]

It looks more like a spaceship than "a great bird in flight" to me. I wish they would raise the age of their target audience a skosh. I love the images but I get tired of narration aimed at 2nd graders.

The thumbs down must be for using kilometers....
